Arrests made in South Bethlehem burglaries
By ALLISON SCHWARTZ
Bethlehem Police Commissioner Stuart Bedics announced the arrests of three adults in a press conference held on the morning of Jan. 25.
Elias Amaro, 32; Vanessa Elaine Capozzi, 27; and Philip Trout, 28, committed a string of burglaries in Bethlehem toward the end of 2010. Bedics also announced the arrests of six males and three juveniles of the Piru Bloods gang and the Yasko Park Gangsters, who were responsible for eight robberies, three burglaries and an auto theft.
According to The Express Times, Amaro, Trout and Capozzi were only interested in making enough money to support their drug habits. Allegedly, the trio broke into about 20 South Bethlehem residences and stole nearly $30,000 worth of televisions, computers and jewelry.
“Amaro used dumpsters near the Wendy’s on West Fourth Street and a post office on Rink Street to stash stolen items while waiting for Trout or Capozzi to swing by for a pick-up, according to police,” The Express Times reported.
The Yasko Park Gangsters’ crimes took place from August to December. The three juveniles associated with the gang’s arrests are aged 13, 15 and 16.
Lt. Mark DiLuzio said the two investigations were unrelated.
“The gang arrests were a totally separate type of investigation my detectives conducted,” DiLuzio said. “The burglars had nothing to do with that investigation.”
“The arrests related to the Piru Bloods etc. and the burglaries just happen to be released together,” DiLuzio said. “That was my choice because they both came to a head at the same time.”
Off-campus residents voiced their concern for their personal safety and the safety of their property.
“I was really nervous about all of the burglaries happening in the area,” said Kristen Brasil, ’11, an off-campus resident. “I live on the main floor of my house, so I would be the first person to come into contact with someone if there was ever a break-in.”
After investigations were complete, the suspects were arrested within several days.
“The arrests were a result of interviews and investigative techniques that allowed the detectives to pursue these crime sprees in a quick and efficient manner,” Bedics said.
In response to why it took so long for police to arrest the alleged suspects, DiLuzio said, “[There were] no witnesses, no direct evidence; it takes time to gather evi

“Brace yourself – there are no signs of the extreme weather slowing down anytime soon,” Joe Furey, a Fox CT meteorologist, told the The Hartford Courant in the story, “Winter Storms Likely to Keep Up the Barrage.”
According to weather reports, we will continue to be affected by harsh winter weather and more big snowstorms through the first few weeks of February.
Furey said the recent, harsh conditions have been attributed to La Niña, an abundance of cold-water temperatures in the equatorial Pacific. This year’s La Niña has been the strongest since 1917 and is thought to be responsible for the floods in Australia and the extreme weather in Europe and the United States.
“The steady onslaught of winter storms has wiped out snow removal budgets in cities and states all along the East Coast,” said Tami Luhby in her story, “Snow Blows City Budgets” on CNNMoney.com.
State governments have already spent millions of dollars to remove the ice and snow from the streets, which is much more than anyone had expected.
Luhby said in some places it only took one storm to drain the budget.
New York City, for instance, used its entire $38.8 million snow removal budget just to remove the 20 inches of snow that fell in late December. New Jersey’s Department of Transportation recently exceeded its $20 million snow removal budget, as well.
“As of mid-January the town has just $20,000 left in its snow removal budget,” said Robert
